Nothing says summertime like the right tunes blasting from the radio (or, more likely, the mobile media device of your choosing). People magazine is acting as DJ for their readers with a little help from Microsoft Tag.

Part of the publication’s seasonal events highlights, People music critic Chuck Arnold has selected a playlist of beach-worthy songs. But Tag makes it a true day at the beach no matter where the readers may be. As a bonus, users can scan the Tag included in the story and check out a video of five more tunes that Arnold has chosen as his top nighttime beach singles.
